Default RE: Remington 7400 in .308 Problem

I have had a few of them. One in a 308 and still have one in a 270Win. I have been lucky with no jams. Got to clean out all oil. Oil can be your enemy and collects dust and crud. Also the gas port needs to be cleaned out. I hear people doing this with pipe cleaners.

Some ammo is not happy in them. As with any semi firearm. I used Corelokts and winchester power points with no problems for over a decade. I reload for it now and found out powder choice is critical. IMR4064 was recommended but would not cycle correctly unless it was max. IMR 4350 works great, and cycles well.

Tell him to try different ammo. And when cleaning. Oil very lightly then remove all the oil you can in the action and gas ports with a rag.
